Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

……

"I never expected the next stage of the competition to have this kind of mechanism..."

After ending the private chat, Lin You was still reflecting on the information she had gained from the conversation.

Tah didn't reveal much information, only mentioning some things about the rules of the event's secret realm.

In fact, once the secret realm opens, Lin You can get a general idea of ​​what it's like to explore it in a short time.

But the most valuable part is the word "in advance".

Being able to know this information before the start of the competition is crucial.

Because the "Secret Realm Speedrun" top 100 competition has no room for trial and error, the results are released directly, and only the top 100 participants are retained.

In addition, the competition will also have a live streaming function, allowing viewers to watch the competition process from a spectator's perspective.

Unlike the "Duel Arena" event, which requires players to watch live streams, the Secret Realm Speedrun event does not mandate that players enable the live stream function.

"Live stream...Why doesn't the Order of the Light forum have this feature?"

"Could it be that it hasn't been unlocked yet?"

Shaking her head, Lin You cleared her mind of distracting thoughts.

In exchange for "revealing the question," Tah proposed a very simple condition.

That means starting a live stream the entire time after entering the event's secret realm.

This condition is not difficult for Lin You.

Before he got involved in survival games, he also worked as a streamer for a while. As a strategy guide author, he also worked as a streamer for a period of time.

As for whether the live stream will reveal their true strength...

Just kidding, he has so many Resonance decks, and he's constantly updating them.

If someone really wants to use the one-sided information revealed in the live stream to deal with him.

Lin You was happy to pull out his newly assembled powerful deck to teach his opponent what it meant to say "times have changed".

"Speaking of which, why do I have to do a live stream?"

After thinking for a long time, Lin You still couldn't figure out Taher's plan.

Given his status as a "personnel member of the competition organizers," he is unlikely to make baseless accusations.

There must be some deeper meaning behind it.

"Never mind, we'll talk about it during the competition."

"Clear the secret realm first."

After a brief hiccup, the Gold Rush finally arrived at its original destination—the entrance to another eternal night labyrinth.

"Come on, I promised to take you out to play."

Meow~

Lin You checked the supplies in the storage jar, then led Yan Ling into the secret realm.

……

[Hint: You have entered the "Eternal Night Labyrinth (Entrance)"]

[Secret Realm Environment: Sandstorm, the desert is filled with strong winds, visibility reduced by 60%]

[Chaos Affixes: Abyss, Ambush]

[Abyss: This secret realm will be invaded by the Abyss]

[Ambush: A safe exists within this secret location]

……

The wind howled and the yellow sand filled the sky.

The blue flame of the super-bright torch shrank into a ball in the sandstorm.

Although it can still provide a good lighting effect.

But looking at the view that was almost completely obscured by sand and dust, Lin You felt a headache coming on.

"Hiss... There's actually an environment like this in the Earth's core?"

After muttering a few words, Lin You's mouth was stuffed with a bunch of sand.

"Meow……"

Flame Spirit also vigorously shook her body.

When it discovered that it couldn't shake all the sand out of its fur.

He decisively chose to crawl into Lin You's clothes to avoid the wind and sand.

"You sure know how to pick a place."

Lin You reached out and patted the little cat's head that had popped out from her chest, thinking to herself that it was good that this outfit had an automatic cleaning function.

Otherwise, after completing a dungeon run, you'd have to go back and do laundry, which is too painful.

Braving a sandstorm, a person and a cat struggled to explore the desert.

Unsurprisingly, the enemy in this secret realm is the antlion family, a frequent visitor to the desert region.

This includes antlion horses, antlion bees, antlion larvae, and so on.

Faced with the warm welcome from these desert natives, Lin You kindly invited them to reunite in the Magic Card Encyclopedia.

In addition to these common antlions, Lin You also discovered a new type of antlion that he had never seen before.

This antlion has a blue body with golden lightning-like patterns.

When charging, it also gathers lightning and thunder, causing additional elemental damage.

"Unfortunately, although its power is enormous, its speed is actually slower than that of a normal antlion's charge."

Lin You dodged the blue antlion's charge and gave his assessment.

"The threat level has decreased."

Before he could retaliate, the remains of two heroic spirits, one on the left and one on the right, fired two waves of elemental arrows, engulfing the blue antlion in the explosion.

As a henchman, the performance of the Heroic Spirit Remains was perfect.

If it were the old undead army, sandstorms alone could sweep away a lot of skeletons.

However, the remains of heroic spirits who wear heavy bronze armor and can fly do not need to worry about this problem.

"Let me see what's going on with this mutated antlion."

Once the Mini Skeleton King retrieved the Blue Antlion's corpse, Lin You immediately crafted it into a magic card.

[Notification: Card crafting successful! You have obtained the "Magic Card - Storm Antlion"!]

……

[Magic Card: "Storm Antlion"]

Grade: 30 (Blue)

【Effect 1: Summon】

【Effect 3: Resonance, converts 10% of physical damage into lightning damage, +1 "Ilmelis Magic"】

……

[Resonance Effect: Ilmelis Magic]

[Note: Gain a 10% bonus to Lightning damage and the "Electrified" effect (Resonance Level x 10%).]

[Electrified: Targets affected by Electrocution take random increased elemental damage by 0-50%]

……

Ilmelis?!

Lin You never expected to see the name of the Ocean Empire on a magic card of an antlion.

"What's the connection between this Storm Antlion and Ilmelis...?"

"Could it be another mess left behind by that Aquaman guy?"

"However, the effects after absorption are quite good."

A free 10% lightning resistance? Why not take it?

Since experiencing the trial of the Torch God, Lin You has realized the importance of resistance.

After all, you can only deal damage if you're alive, so you have to pay attention to the defensive aspect.

The Storm Antlion's Magic Card Resonance effect is fairly average.

There's no discernible pairing at the moment.

"Let's wait for after-sales service."

Lin You closed the Magic Card Encyclopedia and continued exploring.

The howling sandstorm, carrying yellow sand, quickly buried his footprints.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already approached the eye of the storm.

……

Headquarters of the Abysswalkers.

"Commander Ebis, we have already recruited enough people to carry out the cleanup mission in the shallow core of the earth."

"A total of 1000 people, 9% of whom are temporary members recruited within Lin Yuan City."

"Um……"

Abis nodded slightly.

"This team is codenamed 'Scavengers' and is not included in the official formation of the warband."

"In other words, what they do in the shallow Earth's core is none of our business."

"Once we enter the shallow core of the earth, whether we live or die is no longer important."

"Inform them... depart immediately after the 'Star at the Center of the Earth' competition ends."

"Yes, Commander."

After his subordinates left the office, Abby opened a private chat window.

"Master Sculptor, if you insist on canceling this operation, those idiots in the council probably won't complain."

"It's alright."

The clay sculptor responded to him quickly.

"If a new seedling wants to sprout, it needs to use its own resilience to break through the soil."

"Please speak like a human being."

"If that emerging force wants to gain a foothold in the shallow core of the earth, it must demonstrate a certain level of strength."

"Otherwise... even if we leave the cradle of the gods, we will not be able to set foot in the deeper layers of the Earth's core."

"after all……"

Before Taher could finish speaking...

The leader of the Abysswalker Legion had already completed the task for him.

"After all, whether it's 'Linyuan City' or other forces, they all came this way."

"If they can really get through this purge unscathed."

"We might have one more 'neighbor' soon."
